Is Nature's love for waveforms a fundamental aspect of reality?

In summary, the conversation discusses the prevalence and love of the wave nature in various aspects of our reality, from psychological states to quantum mechanical states, from the motion of stars and planets to the tides on Earth. The concept of gravity waves and their role in creating space and time is also brought up. The conversation also touches on the relationship between particles and waves, as well as the difficulty in accepting certain facts of nature.

Nature "loves" the waveform

Nature "loves" the waveform; from our psychological states to quantum mechanical states, from the motion of the pendulum to the alternating current we use everyday, from the motion of stars and the planets to the tides on earth, we are surrounded by the wave nature.

My best regards to all

Enjoy the wave nature of reality!

Possibly of explanatory power is something I read once, somewhere, somewhen. Any reasonably smooth potential (smooth in its value as position in space varies) that has a minimum will look like a linear spring for small displacements from the minimum. And the good old Hooke's Law spring & mass system moves sinusoidally over time, like any common stripped-to-the-bone wave ought to.

Lurking in the background. Sometimes you disturb me, Janitor. Having considered, and heard, your arguments make me uncomfortable.

Even photons travel as waves , but does that mean that they are both particle and wave , just depending on how you look at them.

assume that for pure knowledge sake you might be interested in understanding the missing link. Spacetime is not the true way to understand the relationship between the concepts of matter, energy, time, space and speed. Relativity is the point of origin mass to energy transfer between matter, bound, and matter, free- the Gravity wave. That is to say that matter evaporates into the gravitational wave creating the actions of space, time and gravitational wave sychronization. Space is the gravitational wave being freed to its lowest form of matter. Time is the cosmological constant -the evaporation rate of matter. There is no real curved spacetime. It is gravitational wave sychronization, gravitational waves aligning through the path of least resistance that brings matter together, that is responsible time and space distortion as the waves elongate just as the dopler effect works in sounds. Instead of the sound wave being shortened or elongated when compared to moving objects the gravity wave is shortened or lengthened, red-blue shift which affects not the action of sound but the actions of time and space. Time and space are actions created by each discrete piece of matter as the matter evaporates into the gravitational wave. Space is the unfolding of matter. Time is the resulting action of the rate of evaporation of the gravitational wave. Relativity- Point of origin mass to energy transfer in wave form.

Interesting proposal! but how do you conciliate the fact that according to Gauss's Law there is a complete equilibrium in the, as it were, gravitational charge? This is not the case with non gravitational fields such as the magnetic field, from which all energy seems to come

When a fellow racks up 900 posts in six months, he's going to be doing a lot of lurking.

I will try to stay reasonably on-topic, but a lot of times the topic at hand gets me to thinking about something a little different, but not so different that I want to start a whole new thread.

Yes Janitor, thank you, but why is it so difficult to take such a fact of nature for granted?
My best regards

Monopoles of equal displace cancel out any potential seen charges of the equation.

I think it is natural for scientists to try to explain the "why" behind phenomena to the degree that they can. In the case of waves, which in general may be defined as "a disturbance that propagates," they will want to investigate things like the nature of the medium for the waves, whether the wave motion is damped, whether the wave equation that best describes the wave is linear or nonlinear, and so on.

Perturb a U-tube partly filled with liquid, and the height of the liquid surface in one side of the tube plotted vs. time is predicted to be a perfect sine wave--if one makes enough simplifiying assumptions, such as: the liquid is incompressible, the gravitational field is constant in its value over the range of motion, and the viscosity of the liquid is zero. (These idealizations amount to turning the problem into the simple harmonic oscillator, alluded to in my first post above.) Real-world deviations from these idealizations will make the time plot of surface height look more complicated than a simple sine wave looks.

Yes, it will be more complicated but there we have Fourier Analysis according to which "any signal can be resolved into sinusoidal components", but we also find odd and even symmetry in those Fourier series and the so-called "orthogonality" properties of sinusoidal waves, that make the analysis simpler

the smallness of Gravitation- to small to ever see

Hey that is an easy one. it is not anyform of transfering of gravity. Both sides of any equation are decaying directly related to the densities of each. Reletive and transitional densities have no direct measurable bearing on this this small of a repulsion scale that you call a charge.
 
  • #14
Well I was precisely thinking not in a small scale but at large, at cosmic scale, where we must have a complete balance.

Epsilon Pi,

Are waveforms 2D or 3D? I think, the propagation of waves is always 1D for point source (0D) but is this an idealization? Point source?
 
  • #16
Another question:

In 1D, can the zero divergence of a velocity field be equivalent to the frequency of a wave?

[tex] \vec{\nabla} \cdot \vec{v} = 0 \equiv \nu [/tex]
 
  • #17
More question:

Can the speed of light be alternatively defined as the following?

[tex] c = \lambda \left( \lim_{\substack{\vec{v} \rightarrow \infty}} \vec{\nabla} \cdot \vec{v} \right) [/tex]
 
  • #18
does it depend on the framework used?

The answer to this question depends on the framework used:
- if we use Einstein's framework then it will be 4D
- but if we use a framework where duality has been rationalized in the complex plane, then using the dimension concept that in my opinion is not quite correct in this case, it must be 5D, where the 5D has to do with that totality that includes and transcends space and time.

Isn't this what Kaluza did in 1919? And I think superstring theory carried this to 10D and 11D.

I really would like to make dimension layering a conceptual base on 3D. So that 4D is really a higher layer 1D (4 - 3 = 1), 5D is 2nd layer 2D (5 - 3 = 2), 6D is 2nd layer 3D (6 - 3 = 3), ..., 10D is 4th layer 1D ( 10 - 3 - 3 - 3 = 1), 11D is 4th layer 2D (11 - 3 - 3 - 3 = 2).

Could you give me a good reference, please, of Kaluza's work? Did he work with complex numbers?
In regards to superstring theory I was wondering if with it, not only predictions of the so-called normal science are preserved but even most importantly all those equations such as the SWE, the equations of the Lorentz transformation group, the equations of the normal planets behaving as an ellipse, the deviation of Mercury in regard to the normal equation, and finally can it document the pendulum formula? Or does it not have to do anymore with these classical matters, but just with the chemistry of nuclear interactions?
And yes, this generalization of space dimension including time is something I really would not buy, as it seems to me it is derived from a point of view in which duality is not rationalized, as when was written:
"...if the ds belonging to the element DX1...DX4 is positive, we follow Minkowski in calling it time-like; if it is negative, we call it space-like..."
or
"Thus, according to the general theory of relativity, gravitation occupies an exceptional position in regard to other forces, particularly the electromagnetic forces, since the ten functions representing the gravitational field at the same time define the metrical properties of the space measured." A.Einstein
For "seeing" all these matters properly, should we not have kind of meta-system that even can tend a bridge to life?

Briefly mentioned in Abraham Pais' book entitled 'Subtle is the Lord...' The Science and the Life of Albert Einstein, starting from page 329.

Well, Antonio, before they lock this sub forum, I knew, I owed you an answer. It is our mathematical representation of reality "out there" that can be expressed as nD.

Einstein represented it as 4D, others are representing it as 10D or 11D.

From my own point of view, we must express the Einstein's 4D representation in a totality that is precisely the complex plane that as a matter of fact is that same plane in which the behavior of the electron is represented, I mean, the complex SWE. In this way we have a mathematical framework where all fundamental equations of physics can be represented without the need to introduce additional dimensions with no physical basis.
Evidently as the three space dimensions are homogenous we can use just one of them for representing physical behavior. As a matter of fact in EE, we work with three phase systems but at the moment of representation, in a power system, we use a one-line diagram, and it is a condition of the behavior of a power system that its three phases are balanced, if we want to preserve its steady state.

FAQ: Is Nature's love for waveforms a fundamental aspect of reality?

What is "Nature loves the waveform"?

"Nature loves the waveform" is a phrase used to describe the concept that nature has a preference for certain patterns and shapes, particularly those found in natural phenomena such as waves, spirals, and fractals.

What evidence is there to support this idea?

There are many examples in nature of the same patterns and shapes appearing repeatedly, such as the branching patterns of trees and rivers, the spiral shape of galaxies and shells, and the oscillations of waves and rhythms in the human body. These patterns are also found in the structure and behavior of atoms and molecules.

How does this concept relate to scientific principles?

The idea that nature loves the waveform is closely related to the principle of self-organization, which states that complex systems tend to organize themselves into patterns and structures. It also aligns with the concept of emergence, where complex patterns and behaviors arise from simple interactions between individual components.

What implications does this idea have for scientific research?

This concept has implications for various fields of science, including biology, physics, and ecology. Understanding the patterns and shapes that are favored by nature can help us predict and model the behavior of complex systems, as well as inspire new technologies and innovations.

How can we apply this concept in our daily lives?

By recognizing and appreciating the patterns and shapes that are prevalent in nature, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world around us and develop a greater sense of connection to the natural world. This can also inspire us to create more sustainable and harmonious ways of living that align with the preferences of nature.
